Chars Dogs and Dog Info

It appears as though President-Elect Barack Obama has come down to two choices with regards to what breed of puppy to obtain for his White House household. The two breeds are a Portuguese water hound or a Labradoodle. We all knew that the new puppy had to be hypoallergenic because of Malia having allergies. These two types of dogs are perfect because of this. 

According to Obama, “We’re closing in on it. This has been tougher than finding a commerce secretary.” I have seen so much written up about the Obama’s getting a puppy. The reporters have made such a big deal out of it that Obama is almost continually asked about the new puppy. I bet at times he wishes that he hadn’t made it public. 

The Portuguese water hound is noted for how well these dogs swim. The fisherman in Portugal love this breed of dog because of their skill at driving the fish into nets and also because the water hound has webbed feet.

The Labradoodle is a special breed that mixes the standard poodle with the Labrador retriever. The breed was created in 1989 to try to get a guide dog that didn’t shed very much. 

I still hope President-elect Barack Obama and his family choose to adopt the puppy from a shelter or rescue group. This would be a perfect example for the United States citizens.
